I've never been, intend to go on the next. It would be wonderful if it were on the island of magic, Floripa, SC (dream is free). But Dominican Republic is better than Mexico or Jamaica.

I'd love to go. Closer to Europe would be great. Butlins anyone? Only half joking

I'm ready to go to my first one and any sunny and hot paradise island would be great if Hanson is there

Early February is perfect. Jamaica or Dominican Republic would be amazing! I can’t wait to go to my first BTTI!

I was disappointed that we had no activities with the guys, I had a poor interaction with Issac and he was drunk during his solo show, and they only took us half way up the Dunn's river falls. I did, however, enjoy the concerts and the cats on the resort:)

Agreee completely about the quality and lack of activities . They can do better

Is that true about Isaac. He was just probably trying to relax. Love him!

At the end of the survey they ask for anything else we'd like to say, but tell us to be concise. I find this to be very dismissive of my concerns. The resort for the last two years has had terrible service and my expense room had several leaks. Does anyone in the Hanson world care about that?
Posted Feb 23, 2019 05:50:26 PM
I have my answer. No one cares. Thanks for not bothering to read my survey. I’m extremely disappointed in their decision.

My daughter & I are interested in going to BTTI next year for the first time. Does anyone else find it unfair that people who have attended multiple times get to sign up earlier? If a Fan Club membership is required why isn’t everyone offered the sale at the same time? Why are first timers penalized when they are Fan Club members too?

@Barbie, nobody is penalised. It's just a way to A) stagger the booking process because, can you imagine the technical nightmare of hundreds, thousands of people all trying to book at the same time and B ) rewarding people who have gone year after year for their loyalty. You will still get a room - this year's BTTI didn't sell out until maybe 3-4 days AFTER the general sale had started. And even if it did sell out, inevitably people always cancel and rooms free up nearer the time.
Just clear your schedule on general sale day and you'll be fine.

So the only response from the Hanson camp is how to find pictures. How about responding to our negative feelings about the resort. Thank God for Trevor on Facebook. He tells me that the band cares but the forums make me doubt it.

A BTTI on the Australian side of the equator would be great! Please put that on the Hanson bucket list!!!!

Glad to read these comments before the sale. I was about to book my first BTTI for 2020 but I'm not sure if it's really worth so much money (btw I think the prices for single occupancies are exaggerated compared to double occupancies). I could also comment more on the other posts and my personal feelings but I rather won't.
Anyways, I also go for an EUROPEAN island. Canary Islands for example are also sunny in January.

@4xLeaf:
ultimately the experience is worth it. i would definitely recommend it. the thing we're upset about is the resort, not the experience. and the resort isnt horrible, just not as good as the other resort they use in jamaica, jewel paradise cove.
and you would have to talk to island gigs about going somewhere else. its not necessarily a hanson decision. IG basically just spends january in jamaica doing a different group every week.

Wrong. If Hanson decides to pay attention to fans opinions and comments, they along with their management team are the ones who need to discuss with IG about other options, not the fans.

To be fair, one of the IG guys did say to me back in Jamaica that ultimately it had been Hanson's decision to go back to the Melia. Ultimately we'll never know the ins and outs but it does seem counter intuitive that we are going back there when so much of the feedback has been negative. At least Trevor has bothered talking to us on FB and giving us some kind of context - something that unfortunately nobody else on Hanson's camp ever cares to do. It's hard not think that there's a policy of stonewalling fans - keep quiet and ignore them, as long as they keep paying, who cares?

I havent! But is it possible to have it early January and somewhere closer to Europe? Hmm
